Typical hazards & measures
Sharp edges on climbing holds
— Inspect holds regularly for wear and tear. Replace any holds with sharp edges immediately. Teach participants to report any damage they encounter.
Rope burn
— Instructors must demonstrate proper belaying techniques, ensuring participants lower off climbers slowly. Gloves can be provided to protect hands from burns during belaying.
Falls during low-level traversing
— Provide instruction on safe traversing techniques. Crash mats should be placed under traversing routes, and participants should be briefed on controlled downclimbs.
Inappropriate behavior
— Enforce a strict behavior management policy with a ratio of no more than 12 participants per instructor. Implement a warning system (yellow/red card) and have a group leader to oversee participant conduct.
Lack of communication between belayer and climber
— Encourage clear communication using standard climbing calls like “On belay?” and “Climbing?” Both parties must acknowledge instructions before proceeding.
